Château d'Aqueria Lirac Blanc

Château d’Aqueria’s Lirac blanc is fresh and fruity, elegant and luscious. It is a pure expression of the great southern terroirs. Produce of limestone scree soils, this wine is a blend of mainly Grenache Blanc enhanced with Clairette, Roussanne and a touch of Viognier.

Winemaker notes

Eye: Pale yellow colour with shiny green hints.

Nose: Delicate and complex with aromas of fruit (peaches), white flowers (acacia, honeysuckle) and some exotic notes.

Mouth: A delicate and smooth attack with floral and fruit notes. A lovely minerality and a remarkable fresh finish bring the perfect balance overall.
